Rail applications can involve duties that differ from general distribution. Share the project specification and relevant loading conditions before selecting a series.
Translate the application into a specification.
Include rated capacity, voltage ratio, frequency, load profile and installation conditions. State the applicable project standard and any site-specific limits. Confirm the final specification with the engineer responsible for the project.
Compare the same duty and evidence.
Request the proposed model, guaranteed no-load and load losses, the reference conditions and reports covering that model. Ask for a quotation covering the exact rating and configuration you need.
Complete the project brief.
Request any additional specifications needed for your comparison. Confirm delivery, testing, installation and maintenance responsibilities with each manufacturer.
